Danny, the Office does not and should not be determining inclusion criteria on its own and imposing them without the consent of the community. Fleshlight survived AfD three times. For the Office to declare "Sorry, community - you're wrong" is a new approach for the Office, and one I think is a very, very bad one.
Think of it as an advanced example of assuming good faith. The company cannot bear for the "advertising value" of "their" article to be diluted. The only way we can accommodate that is to delete it. Danny was very kind to do this, and the project is not measurably poorer as a result, it being trivially easy to find the product on the internets should one be so inclined.
I'm not understanding this point -- why then do we have articles on things such as [[Pipe organ]] or even people such as [[Donald Knuth]] -- both of these can be easily looked up online, and they take up some much more disk space than [[Fleshlight]]
